Honoured to have received the prestigious Ramnath Goenka Award for my documentary’Inside Jamia Nagar: A story of everyday prejudice against Indian Muslims’.
The story was chosen in the broadcast category for reporting on ‘Politics and Government’ for the year 2019.
Modi’s age (75) provides extra complexities, with requests for his schedule to allow for nap times and a preference for venues without stairs he’d need to use...

In Jakarta, I was delighted to witness a graceful Bharatanatyam performance by the Samanvaya Group. It is gladdening to see these cherished traditions being preserved and presented with such dedication and excellence.
🚨 Since 2023, sexual violence against Palestinian detainees has been used as a systematic weapon of subjugation, including rape, harassment & strip searches. The 37 documented cases are just a fraction of a hidden reality.

While the Leader of the Opposition is holding conversations with India's youth about their future, the Prime Minister is using diplomatic forums to hand out Melody toffees and talk about Instagram.
The contrast is ugly.
The real point is that wearing a stolen crown does not make one a king.
Leadership demands maturity, responsibility, and seriousness of purpose. Unfortunately, he chooses such non serious adolescence over accountability.
Pointless nonsense which means nothing for India and Indians. Look at what the US does, not what it says.
Declining strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific, no defence and tech transfer to India, and more curbs on immigration status of Indians - this is what has been done.
Nobody laughed as PM Modi cracked a joke in a light hearted moment.
He then awkwardly reached for Trump’s hands that are stained with the blood of Indian sailors.
When asked if the US and India had struck a trade deal during the G7 in Evian, France, President Donald Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “killer” and an “angel,” referring to his negotiating skills.
Happy to meet you in Nice, my friend President Macron. Thank you for taking part in ‘Bharat Innovates’ at a time when our nations are marking the ‘Year of Innovation.’

Over the next few days, I will be in France and Slovakia to attend various programmes, including bilateral talks, multilateral engagements and interaction with the Indian diaspora. The focus will be on boosting economic as well as cultural linkages.
The visit will begin with programmes in Nice, notably ‘Bharat Innovates’, in which President Macron will be present. As India and France are marking the ‘India-France Year of Innovation’, ‘Bharat Innovates’ will be a vibrant platform that brings together innovators, StartUps and those related to the world of innovation.
In Nice, I will also hold talks with President Macron, where we will review the India-France Special Global Strategic Partnership.

Watched this woman destroy an innocent girls life while reading her WhatsApp Messages on the news. For ratings. Had her call me anti-national on the news for speaking about women’s safety. For ratings. Now she’s ‘concerned’ about women. For ratings. Give me a break. That’s my take.
History has been written today.
On 10 June 2026, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji completes 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji, to become the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in the history of our Republic.
Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means.
India is not a nation in the ordinary sense. It is a civilisation of 1.4 billion souls. A land of 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of dialects; of many faiths, castes, communities and creeds; of countless regions and walks of life, living side by side. We are the world's largest democracy, with an electorate of nearly 98 crore, more than the people living in all of Europe. This makes ours perhaps the most complex electoral exercise across the globe.
And yet, out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation: again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith.
To win the trust of so vast and diverse a nation even once is remarkable. To win it three times over, without a break, is extraordinary.
Consider, too, how different the two eras are. Pandit Nehru ji earned his mandate in the formative decades of the Republic, an age of one-party dominance in which the Congress towered over a young and fragmented opposition. Narendra Modi ji has earned his in a far more demanding democracy: the age of coalitions, of powerful regional forces and fierce multi-party competition. And he has met that challenge in full: winning absolute majorities in his own right in 2014 and 2019 (the first single-party majorities since 1984), and then forging and leading a victorious coalition in 2024. To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement.
On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon'ble Prime Minister's tireless devotion to the nation.
May he be blessed with robust health and a long life, and may the people of Bharat grant him many more mandates in the service of our motherland.
